She is genuine, honest and she chases what she wants, something unusual of this time. She is quirky, funny and a true feminist. Pandora is so different than the heroines of this era. He is the perfect mixture of Sebastian and Evie, so he is caring, protective but also intelligent and hot. He is not a notorious rake like his father without though missing his seductive ways. Slowly, she shows her that he can accept her the way she is without her changing and proves that marriage is all about their pleasure. Gabriel falls hopelessly in love with Pandora but she wants nothing to do with him. When he saves a beautiful vixen, he is intrigued by the peculiar girl and he will do anything to make her his wife. ![]() Vincent enjoys his bachelor life and avoids the marital traps. When she finds herself involved in a scandal with a handsome Lord, suddenly all her ideas turn upside down. She prefers staying at home plotting her next board game and making business plans.

When I have heard that Lisa Kleypas is back with a new book featuring the son of Sebastian and Evie, I was over the moon happy! This book is charming, funny and sexy!
